2014-09-20tests: Use more representative configs for ARM testsAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the CPU and cache configurations used in the ARM SE and FS regressions to make them more representative, and also get better code coverage by exercising different replacement policies and use an L2 prefetcher.
2013-06-27config: Add a BaseSESystem builder for re-use in regressionsAndreas Hansson
This patch extends the existing system builders to also include a syscall-emulation builder. This builder is deployed in all syscall-emulation regressions that do not involve Ruby, i.e. o3-timing, simple-timing and simple-atomic, as well as the multi-processor regressions o3-timing-mp, simple-timing-mp and simple-atomic-mp (the latter are only used by SPARC at this point). The values chosen for the cache sizes match those that were used in the existing config scripts (despite being on the large side). Similarly, a mem_class parameter is added to the builder base class to enable simple-atomic to use SimpleMemory and o3-timing to use the default DDR3 configuration. Due to the different order the ports are connected, the bus stats get shuffled around for the multi-processor regressions. A separate patch bumps the port indices. Besides this, all behaviour is exactly the same.
2013-06-27config: Add a system clock command-line optionAkash Bagdia
This patch adds a 'sys_clock' command-line option and use it to assign clocks to the system during instantiation. As part of this change, the default clock in the System class is removed and whenever a system is instantiated a system clock value must be set. A default value is provided for the command-line option. The configs and tests are updated accordingly.
2013-05-30mem: More descriptive DRAM config namesAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the class names of the variuos DRAM configurations to better reflect what memory they are based on. The speed and interface width is now part of the name, and also the alias that is used to select them on the command line. Some minor changes are done to the actual parameters, to better reflect the named configurations. As a result of these changes the regressions change slightly and the stats will be bumped in a separate patch.
2013-01-31mem: Add DDR3 and LPDDR2 DRAM controller configurationsAndreas Hansson
This patch moves the default DRAM parameters from the SimpleDRAM class to two different subclasses, one for DDR3 and one for LPDDR2. More can be added as we go forward. The regressions that previously used the SimpleDRAM are now using SimpleDDR3 as this is the most similar configuration.
2013-01-07tests: Always specify memory mode in every test system.Ali Saidi
Previous to this change we didn't always set the memory mode which worked as long as we never attempted to switch CPUs or checked that a CPU was in a memory system with the correct mode. Future changes will make CPUs verify that they're operating in the correct mode and thus we need to always set it.
2012-10-30config: Unify caches used in regressions and adjust L2 MSHRsAndreas Hansson
This patch unified the L1 and L2 caches used throughout the regressions instead of declaring different, but very similar, configurations in the different scripts. The patch also changes the default L2 configuration to match what it used to be for the fs and se scripts (until the last patch that updated the regressions to also make use of the cache config). The MSHRs and targets per MSHR are now set to a more realistic default of 20 and 12, respectively. As a result of both the aforementioned changes, many of the regression stats are changed. A follow-on patch will bump the stats.
2012-10-25config: Use SimpleDRAM in full-system, and with o3 and inorderAndreas Hansson
This patch favours using SimpleDRAM with the default timing instead of SimpleMemory for all regressions that involve the o3 or inorder CPU, or are full system (in other words, where the actual performance of the memory is important for the overall performance). Moving forward, the solution for FSConfig and the users of fs.py and se.py is probably something similar to what we use to choose the CPU type. I envision a few pre-set configurations SimpleLPDDR2, SimpleDDR3, etc that can be choosen by a dram_type option. Feedback on this part is welcome. This patch changes plenty stats and adds all the DRAM controller related stats. A follow-on patch updates the relevant statistics. The total run-time for the entire regression goes up with ~5% with this patch due to the added complexity of the SimpleDRAM model. This is a concious trade-off to ensure that the model is properly tested.
2012-10-15Mem: Use cycles to express cache-related latenciesAndreas Hansson
This patch changes the cache-related latencies from an absolute time expressed in Ticks, to a number of cycles that can be scaled with the clock period of the caches. Ultimately this patch serves to enable future work that involves dynamic frequency scaling. As an immediate benefit it also makes it more convenient to specify cache performance without implicitly assuming a specific CPU core operating frequency. The stat blocked_cycles that actually counter in ticks is now updated to count in cycles. As the timing is now rounded to the clock edges of the cache, there are some regressions that change. Plenty of them have very minor changes, whereas some regressions with a short run-time are perturbed quite significantly. A follow-on patch updates all the statistics for the regressions.
2012-09-25Cache: add a response latency to the cachesMrinmoy Ghosh
In the current caches the hit latency is paid twice on a miss. This patch lets a configurable response latency be set of the cache for the backward path.
2012-05-31Bus: Split the bus into a non-coherent and coherent busAndreas Hansson
This patch introduces a class hierarchy of buses, a non-coherent one, and a coherent one, splitting the existing bus functionality. By doing so it also enables further specialisation of the two types of buses. A non-coherent bus connects a number of non-snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address. The request packets issued by the master connected to a non-coherent bus could still snoop in caches attached to a coherent bus, as is the case with the I/O bus and memory bus in most system configurations. No snoops will, however, reach any master on the non-coherent bus itself. The non-coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling PCI, PCIe, and non-coherent AMBA and OCP buses, and is typically used for the I/O buses. A coherent bus connects a number of (potentially) snooping masters and slaves, and routes the request and response packets based on the address, and also forwards all requests to the snoopers and deals with the snoop responses. The coherent bus can be used as a template for modelling QPI, HyperTransport, ACE and coherent OCP buses, and is typically used for the L1-to-L2 buses and as the main system interconnect. The configuration scripts are updated to use a NoncoherentBus for all peripheral and I/O buses. A bit of minor tidying up has also been done. --HG-- rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/coherent_bus.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/coherent_bus.hh rename : src/mem/bus.cc => src/mem/noncoherent_bus.cc rename : src/mem/bus.hh => src/mem/noncoherent_bus.hh
2012-04-06MEM: Enable multiple distributed generalized memoriesAndreas Hansson
This patch removes the assumption on having on single instance of PhysicalMemory, and enables a distributed memory where the individual memories in the system are each responsible for a single contiguous address range. All memories inherit from an AbstractMemory that encompasses the basic behaviuor of a random access memory, and provides untimed access methods. What was previously called PhysicalMemory is now SimpleMemory, and a subclass of AbstractMemory. All future types of memory controllers should inherit from AbstractMemory. To enable e.g. the atomic CPU and RubyPort to access the now distributed memory, the system has a wrapper class, called PhysicalMemory that is aware of all the memories in the system and their associated address ranges. This class thus acts as an infinitely-fast bus and performs address decoding for these "shortcut" accesses. Each memory can specify that it should not be part of the global address map (used e.g. by the functional memories by some testers). Moreover, each memory can be configured to be reported to the OS configuration table, useful for populating ATAG structures, and any potential ACPI tables. Checkpointing support currently assumes that all memories have the same size and organisation when creating and resuming from the checkpoint. A future patch will enable a more flexible re-organisation. --HG-- rename : src/mem/PhysicalMemory.py => src/mem/AbstractMemory.py rename : src/mem/PhysicalMemory.py => src/mem/SimpleMemory.py rename : src/mem/physical.cc => src/mem/abstract_mem.cc rename : src/mem/physical.hh => src/mem/abstract_mem.hh rename : src/mem/physical.cc => src/mem/simple_mem.cc rename : src/mem/physical.hh => src/mem/simple_mem.hh
2012-03-02CPU: Check that the interrupt controller is created when neededAndreas Hansson
This patch adds a creation-time check to the CPU to ensure that the interrupt controller is created for the cases where it is needed, i.e. if the CPU is not being switched in later and not a checker CPU. The patch also adds the "createInterruptController" call to a number of the regression scripts.
2012-02-13MEM: Introduce the master/slave port roles in the Python classesAndreas Hansson
This patch classifies all ports in Python as either Master or Slave and enforces a binding of master to slave. Conceptually, a master (such as a CPU or DMA port) issues requests, and receives responses, and conversely, a slave (such as a memory or a PIO device) receives requests and sends back responses. Currently there is no differentiation between coherent and non-coherent masters and slaves. The classification as master/slave also involves splitting the dual role port of the bus into a master and slave port and updating all the system assembly scripts to use the appropriate port. Similarly, the interrupt devices have to have their int_port split into a master and slave port. The intdev and its children have minimal changes to facilitate the extra port. Note that this patch does not enforce any port typing in the C++ world, it merely ensures that the Python objects have a notion of the port roles and are connected in an appropriate manner. This check is carried when two ports are connected, e.g. bus.master = memory.port. The following patches will make use of the classifications and specialise the C++ ports into masters and slaves.

2012-01-17MEM: Add port proxies instead of non-structural portsAndreas Hansson
Port proxies are used to replace non-structural ports, and thus enable all ports in the system to correspond to a structural entity. This has the advantage of accessing memory through the normal memory subsystem and thus allowing any constellation of distributed memories, address maps, etc. Most accesses are done through the "system port" that is used for loading binaries, debugging etc. For the entities that belong to the CPU, e.g. threads and thread contexts, they wrap the CPU data port in a port proxy. The following replacements are made: FunctionalPort > PortProxy TranslatingPort > SETranslatingPortProxy VirtualPort > FSTranslatingPortProxy --HG-- rename : src/mem/vport.cc => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/vport.hh => src/mem/fs_translating_port_proxy.hh rename : src/mem/translating_port.cc => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.cc rename : src/mem/translating_port.hh => src/mem/se_translating_port_proxy.hh
2011-12-01O3: Remove hardcoded tgts_per_mshr in O3CPU.py.Chander Sudanthi
There are two lines in O3CPU.py that set the dcache and icache tgts_per_mshr to 20, ignoring any pre-configured value of tgts_per_mshr. This patch removes these hardcoded lines from O3CPU.py and sets the default L1 cache mshr targets to 20. --HG-- extra : rebase_source : 6f92d950e90496a3102967442814e97dc84db08b
2011-03-17Mem: Fix issue with dirty block being lost when entire block transferred to ↵Ali Saidi
non-cache. This change fixes the problem for all the cases we actively use. If you want to try more creative I/O device attachments (E.g. sharing an L2), this won't work. You would need another level of caching between the I/O device and the cache (which you actually need anyway with our current code to make sure writes propagate). This is required so that you can mark the cache in between as top level and it won't try to send ownership of a block to the I/O device. Asserts have been added that should catch any issues.
2011-02-03Config: Keep track of uncached and cached ports separately.Gabe Black
This makes sure that the address ranges requested for caches and uncached ports don't conflict with each other, and that accesses which are always uncached (message signaled interrupts for instance) don't waste time passing through caches.
